You're my hero!

Congratulations, that's fantastic! I don't have any smaller sizes, have been this way too long. But I recently had to take all my slacks to the tailor for the second time since I started here.

I would julienne them then mix them into some ricotta cheese along with some chopped fresh spinach and seasonings. Flatten chicken breast, spread with mixture, roll up and bake 30 minutes. I love this sauce from this recipe on tuna. It says to use oil packed but you can substitute with great results.…

It's so nice to learn a bit about everyone. I've lived in Los Angeles for the the last 35 years. I'm a Teacher's Assistant at an LAUSD Adult School. I've been married 3 times, but always get the 7 year itch . :wink: Like Francine I am also a breast cancer survivor 13 years for me. I volunteer at an animal rescue center.…

I'm meeting 5 online girl friends in Las Vegas in a week. We have been friends for almost 6 years, but have never met. They are flying in from all over the country. My goal is to try and have a great time without too much sacrifice and not gain any weight. After that I will be starting back to work after summer off and…

I'm Carla. :tongue:

Add me too!

Just sent you a friend request. Starting over is hard, but you've taken the biggest step coming back. You can do this. :smile:

It amazes me how slowly the weight comes off now.

When I was young (20's) I moved to Hollywood, CA and although I was thin, I was not as thin as the wanna be actresses, models and singers. I started dieting and I dieted myself fat for 30 years. 5 pounds off 7 pound on...7 off 10 on and on and on until I hit 225. I stopped dieting and was able to keep myself at that same…

Hi everyone. I'm so happy to be here! Nice to see a group of women that I can relate to. No teens or new moms. Will be nice to share the particular problems that come with losing weight and getting fit at our age.

Feel free to add me. Turning 61 in a few months. Have been here awhile and it's slow going, but I'm keeping at it. Could use some new friends. Most of the ones I started with have left and I could use some support.

This is one of my favorite recipes that mixes black beans, quinoa and sweet potatoes. The nutritional break down is also included. http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/04/black-bean-sweet-potato-quinoa-stuffed-bell-peppers/

Nay, I say Nay! I use to love Kashi Cereals and then Kellogg's bought the small company out. Do your research. Even though the box says "All Natural" Independent testing shows that Kashi Go Lean contains high levels of GMO ingredients. It also contains hexane-extracted soy protein. The soy they use is given a hexane bath…

You can change the wrong information now. When you click on nutritional information they ask if the data is correct. If you select no you can then edit and input the correct information and save it.

AWESOME!

Freaking Brillant! Hahaha!

The colors.

That's not a proper cat suit. This is

You don't have to have multiple cats to be a crazy cat lady. Early morning cat kiss.

I have been a cat lover all my life and every cat I have owned has been a rescue. My last cat Cleo was 15 when I got her. Her owner had passed and she was sent to a shelter. :frown: She was very scared and would not let anyone near her. I took a chance and adopted her. We spent the last 6 years of her life loving each…

They just need to use a lint brush

My guy is not lactose intolerant, but he knows that milk is just something he wants not something he needs, just like people don't need chocolate but they still crave it. The rule in our house is that if Milo wants milk he most bring home chocolate.

I'm owned by a scardy cat, so he would run and hide under the bed. He is only a tough guy around me.

For me a healthy dessert needs to have some sort of nutrition. I take my standby oatmeal cookie recipe and add dried cherries and walnuts and cut the sugar in half. I cut fat in quick breads by adding applesauce or nonfat yogurt instead of oil or butter. When I want something creamy I take 1 large box jello sugar free fat…
